Hello:
I have gotten into alot of work from home business opportunities. One of them was stuffing envelopes at home. The opportyunity is presented to you in such a way that all you think you have to do is take their flyer/brochure and stuff it in the envelope and mail back the stuff envelpoes to the company and you get paid so much for everyone that you do. It has been my experience that most if not all of these opportunities are scams.
They make their money by selling you a starter kit of supplies that you buy and then you never hear from them again. Or there are things that they leave out that makes the opportunity unprofitable. Such as the real way they refer to getting paid for the work. Just stuff them is simply office type work. But when you get your kit you find that you are not getting paid to stuff them but to market their product or service. What mostly happens is that you get your kit and find out them to work the program you have to place ads in newspapers and magazine advertising for people who might be interested in the product or service offer by this company. And in the ad copy you ask for a stamped self addressed envelope. And this is the envelope you will be stuffing with their flyer.
How about getting paid. I found one that would pay me 50 cent for every stuffed reply envelope I sent them but they are just really buying qualified leads that you generated thru your advertising. But of of they use a more cleaver design. They have you mail out their flyer and brochure to the interested party and if they buy the product or service then you get a small fee for this sale. So they can say you can make money from stuffing envelopes but what goes unsaid is that ; that money comes commissions on the sale of their product or service. What happens is that you spend hundreds of dollars on advertising and printing up their flyers and only get 5 or 6 responses. Because it not the cost of the starter kit that really knocks you for a loop it is the money you spend trying to make it work.
Think about this: If all they wanted was to hire someone to take their flyers and stuff them into an envelope and that is it ( which is basic office work) then all they would need to do is advertise for workers in their local area. Because their would thousands of potential workers within 50 miles of where they are to do the work without having to get a home worker in another state. So any company looking to hire you to do simply office work that is not near you then beware it is a scam.
My advice and experience says save your money and do not get into any envelope stuffing work from home program. You will spend plenty trying to get it going and not be able to get anything out of it.
